Notes

She’s jealous :P

Just having fun, I’ll do whatever I feel like at the time.


Finished in Barcelona just before we had to leave, so the only FO pics are dreadful from my old phone in fluorescent light. They fit great.

I did a regular (waste yarn) afterthough (pre-thought? I made them before continuing with the foot so that I could try them on my mom to adjust length). It does leave a couple holes no matter what. The cut the yarn and insert the needle method is neater.

I think this is my favourite heel that I’ve tried so far (the cut method).

I thought the red BO at the double cuff was too over the top, but she liked it? so it stayed.

I made the side sts next to the decreases for the toe and heel in purls, the dec was p2tog, and I like how it looks. A little bumpier on the inside but nothing dramatic.

I think 60 sts? don’t quote me on that. No shaping which suits my mom’s flat feet. Relatively pointy toe (compared to my dad and me anyhow). A couple decreases with plain rnds then dec every rnd.

I think the heel was a few plain rnds then dec every other rnd.

Can’t recall how many sts before kitchener.
